Episode I 3D Release Date Announced

TheBrakShow writes 'Lucasfilm Ltd. and Twentieth Century Fox announced today that the 3D theatrical launch of Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace now has an official release date — February 10, 2012!' Are enough fans interested in watching the weakest films of the trilogy again just to experience them in 3D?"
I for one am looking forward to a new and improved Jar Jar experience.

    Who wants to see one dimensional characters in 3D?

    No, I like Samuel Jackson way better than her. She wasn't even in Pulp Fiction.

    I'm enjoying a new and improved Jar Jar experience right now by not watching episodes 1-3.

    Is a 3-dimensional projection of a 2-dimensional movie with 1-dimensional acting.

    mmmm, can't wait....

    They are gonna keep trying to bleed those films dry as long as the return is positive. It's kinda fun to see how far they'll take it as long as you don't spend any of your own money on it. I predict that the final release before they put this to bed will be the uber-enhanced ultra-digital 3D edition with unseen footage, enhanced audio, product placement (the Jawas will be selling droids with a marlboro red hanging off their lower lip, eating cheetos and wearing Nikes), and a special audio commentary by Jar Jar across all 6 episodes.

    It was like watching your favorite aunt get raped for 2 hours. No amount of overpriced popcorn could make that any better.

    So that would be a thumbs down?

    The only way I'll watch this is if Natalie Portman reaches out of the screen and gives me a hand job.

    It's as though these new movies were written by a completely different author.

    There were people writing that stuff? I always envisioned somebody dumping an eightball of coke into a 40, using that to wash down a handful of waffle pretzels and a mouthful of spray cheese, and then Voilà, it's movie making time...
